Hits a moment of near complete silence. A beautiful segue from eyes into china doll.

Really fun latter day version. I believe it is the second to last played. The boys get into it, and reassure the crowd they arent quite done yet.

Samson and Delilah

Oakland Coliseum Arena

Rippin' version. Some dialed in rage from Jerry coming with some ferocious solos.

Bobby gets into it, in great fashion. A quick charge through a Dylan Cover. Bursting energy throughout

Absolutely nuts version. Twice as fast as usual, I would stack this up with cornell.

Sick, lighting quick, ferocious, and off the fricken' chain!
They Love Each Other

Dane County Coliseum

Freedom, check out 5/1/81. It's one of the best shows of 1981 and the entire Brent era.

Cgarces, I agree this is a great song, and this version is especially good. I love when Garcia pulls a twist and adds a little JGB to the Grateful Dead sets.

Emotive, and my favorite live version. Obviously, however, studio cant be beat.
